President Trump said that an IAEA visit to Iran will happen 'in due time,' responding to a reporter's question on when inspectors would enter the country, according to Abu Ali Express. The remark comes after Vice President Vance said earlier this week that Washington expects the IAEA visit as soon as this week.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday evening that an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) visit to Iran will occur 'in due time,' responding to a reporter's question asking when inspectors will enter the country. The brief exchange was reported by the Israeli outlet Abu Ali Express.
The remark comes after Vice President JD Vance said Monday that Washington expects the IAEA to visit Iran this week, possibly as soon as that day. Vance then said later Monday that Iran had agreed to re-admit IAEA inspectors, adding to recent U.S. assertions of progress toward a nuclear understanding.
The exchange marks the latest in a series of statements by Trump administration officials on nuclear talks with Iran. Trump has previously warned Iran to reach a deal within 60 days, and the U.S. has continued its military campaign against Iranian infrastructure. The timing of the IAEA visit remains unclear, with Trump offering only the general 'in due time' rather than committing to the timeline Vance suggested.
